PTB or PolyFil?

[Ragman]

I know everyone has opinions but for safety reasons, which one is honestly better (safer)?

Im not talking for vapor production or flavor, specifically safety reasons or Atty life.

Thanks a bunch.

polyfill - is made of fibers- 1 of the fibers will want to be sucked towards the atty= then it burns in the atty- it sucks

PTB- is mesh the fibers stay together- way better

Atty life- if the atty taste burnt from poly fill fibres- it aint dead but it taste bad for a while.

Thanks Robert, think I'll pick up some PTB on the way home from work today.

PTB? anyone got a link to some?

 

[Ragman]

Damn, Wegmans didnt have them. Will have to hit WalMart today.

I have found something better at least to me it is, and that's Fluval. Aquarium water filter, $7 and you have a lifetime supply just about. It's perfect for filler, cut to size and wicks great. You can find it at Petco, Petsmart, just about any pet section or pets store. Just open and cut to size, easy.

Do you mean this stuff? http://www.petco.com/product/106210/Hagen-Fluval-FX5-Fine-Filter-Pad.aspx?cm_mmc=CSEMGooglebase-_-Fish-_-Fluval-_-1177370&mr:trackingCode=7BF0EB15-8381-DE11-B7F3-0019B9C043EB&mr:referralID=NA

I heard it might give a strange taste when vaping. This true?

im not sure this is it but i have heard of people using this i think it can be dangerous for you and possibly a reason why the fda may wanna ban these in usw bc ppl willl be modding them with filter pads lol ummm i would not suggest that i use polyfill and it works just fine i never got a burnt taste from my dse 901 and when i replace fiiling i let it sit for an hour so it can expand and what not... and then i grab the scissors and trim the lil fibers hanging out they look exactly like the reg carts i used to buy at 3$ a pack o five also you can get a big bag the sixe of a pillow of polyfill for the price of an on demand movie so around 3$ you get a life long bag of poly fill i hope this helped

For ease of use I use fiberfill, yank a peice off, stuff in it, and cut off any stray strands. $3 bucks will last a lifetime

PTB = (Lipton) Pyramid Tea Bags.
Since my post count is not high enough, I can not post a link.

Enjoy!

Let me add another one since the PTB method simply looks too complicated. I read of another poster using wool nubs, so I bought that on Ebay. I absolutely love using this filler, no cutting (just some snipping) and the taste is great with wool.

How about this?

Walmart.com: Lipton Beverage: Green Tea W/Mandarin Orange Pyramid Tea Bags, 20 ct: Beverages

maybe that will help, and you can search and see if the store closest to you has it in stock.
I think it comes in like 7 different flavors.

PTB by a long shot. It takes a little futzing to figure out exactly how to get the best roll and fill method, but once you have it down, PTB is superior in every respect.

Honestly, it's not that hard to get the hang of PTB. It just takes a few rollups to get it right. But once you do, the filler lasts practically forever (with proper periodic cleaning) and holds more fluid than polly.

PTB stands for Pyramid Tea Bag from Lipton Teas. The bag is made from a poly mesh rather than the traditional tea bag. The vapor who started this suggested it as the poly mesh has a higher temp rating in order for it to melt theorizing it would be safer to use. Someone else also contacted the manufacturer and it ended up recommending that we cut away the edges as there may be some type of sealant that might not be safe to vape. So just in case I cut the edges off. I really like this mod the best over anything I have tried including fluval. I tried it alone and with the straw mod and the fluval actually did too good of a job and cleaned out the taste of the eliquid for me. I like the flavor of the eliquids. I did try wool also and this was my second best choice but I had to replace the wool too often and there were little frays that I didnt like. The PTB lasts a LONG time I change mine about every 2 weeks. I just rinse in water and press it in a paper towel to dry and it works like new. It also holds its shape so it is a quick and easy clean and replace filler. I wish I could find the original vapor who had this idea that was a GREAT FIND!!

What PTB variation do you use (shredded, rho double-fold, rho single-fold, etc.) ?
